Ian and I threw our first 'real' birthday party for Caleb and Julian on Saturday. I've so far avoided having to bake them a birthday cake, but this year they were too aware and excited about their birthday to put it off. I find cake making has been one of those surprise mommy-skills I didn't realize I would need until I need it! Caleb and Julian chose their own cakes from a magazine (completely on their own!). They were a bit out of my league and I had to do some research online to find out how to make meringue buttercream frosting (my first batch was a disaster!) But luckily it all came together. 12+ of their little friends ran around in the backyard in our wading pool. They had a blast running away from Ian as he squirted them with a hose. Unfortunately most of our photos got erased... we will just have to remember what a fun party it was. They certainly seemed to feel loved, and that's what matters.

Wow what a culinary feat! The cakes look scrumptious. Glad birthday party #1 went well. I am awaiting birthday party #2 at Fixsens in Edmonton. Hope you travel safely.
